I was 14 years old in 1969 when &quot;The Chase&quot; appeared on the TV schedule. My older brother James said, &quot;You should watch it, it's great - you'll get so angry at those bigoted fools you'll want to pick up the TV and throw it across the room.&quot; I suddenly found myself saying, with all the wisdom of a 14-year-old (i.e, not so much), &quot;Nah. I don't like Marlon Brando.&quot; I have no idea where that comment came from, I'd hardly ever seen him in any movies at all, I just sort of picked up that &quot;Brando is washed up&quot; vibe. Well, I watched &quot;The Chase&quot; on TV, and sure enough, I got so angry at those bigoted fools in that small town that I wanted to pick up the TV and throw it. I was now a confirmed Brando fan. A couple of years later: &quot;The Godfather&quot; and then &quot;Last Tango in Paris,&quot; which was the first movie I saw after I turned 18 and was legal at X rated films. (I actually didn't much like it then, because I didn't know squat about sex/obsession/grief; his has changed.) Anyway. Thank you, Mr. Brando, for your achievement. Rest in peace. Oh - one more thought - the received wisdom is that his films of '60s were second rate, but this, like so much received wisdom, is false. Check out not only &quot;The Chase&quot; but also &quot;Morituri,&quot; &quot;Burn!,&quot; and above all, the stunning, bizarre, and gloriously weird &quot;Reflections in a Golden Eye.&quot;

The year was 1958 and I was working at Columbia Motion Pictures in Hollywood, CA. I was invited to a party at Arthur Loew Jr.'s home in the Hollywood Hills and knew that Marlon Brando would be at this party as well as Paul Newman and his new wife, JoAnn. I was in the kitchen talking on the phone to an aspiring actress friend and then - Marlon walked in - I turned towards him - he looked me right in the eyes and said &quot;I hear every word you say.&quot; I'm sure I blushed and went back to my conversation. I was a young, impressionable girl. I will never forget his face - and the &quot;look&quot; in his eyes.

I admired Marlon Brando&#039;s bone scraping honesty. I will forever remember his candid answer when asked a philosophical question, &quot;As I draw my final breath, my last thought will be &#039;What was that all about&quot;? Never once did you think of him as &quot;acting&quot;, but just reaching into his soul, and expressing feelings that we all have somewhere in our sacred place.
